Description: Verso: Drapery study for the madonna. 

Identified as a work of Zaganelli by Sirén, who considered the drawing a preliminary study for a painting in the Museum in Chantilly. One other drawing by Zaganelli is known, "Virgin with child surrounded by angels making music", in Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin. This is a preparatory study for a painting in Cà d'Oro in Venice and demonstrates substantial similarities with our drawing.

The drapery study verso of our drawing is made in the tradition of the earlier generation, supposedly studied from a clay model covered with waxed linen cloths. The method offered the artist a possibility softly moulding the form through shadow and to represent to solidity and depth of the three-dimensional model. [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 1058]
